On which mechanisms of pathogenesis in patients with bronchial asthma does halotherapy have effects and for which patients it is preferable to prescribe it?
Whereas the method has anti-inflammatory and bronchodraining effects, its prescription is indicated, in the first place, for patients with bronchial asthma with an infection-dependent component. However, patients with a predominantly allergic form of the disease can also develop occurrences of dyscrinia (production of highly-viscous mucus) quite often accounted for by the impaired mucociliary transport in the small airways. Therefore, in such cases the method is also efficient.
